Preserve Your Natural Teeth
Our
philosophy is to do everything we can to preserve the natural teeth
through prevention of cavities and gum disease.
When treatment is needed, we use
state of the art biocompatible dental materials to restore the
teeth as conservatively as possible. To preserve as much tooth
as possible, we use micro dentistry, which is a new concept of
minimizing tooth loss through the use of miniature tools. We use
lasers to find hidden cavities and treat them with ultra small
dental tools and lasers. We use composite to fill in the tiny
openings of the teeth; compared to the amalgam techniques we
preserve much more of the natural tooth structure.
This new technique is
important because it helps prevent more extensive and costly
treatments such as root canals and crowns. Research has shown
that approximately 10% of teeth receiving crowns end up needing
a root canal in the first year after the crown is placed. With
our technique it is less than 1%!
Please call Dr. Stickney’s
office with any questions you may have about the benefits of
using a sealant in preventing dental decay.
